Scope and Content Note

Harold and Gertrude (Jean) Williams between 1978 and 1995 donated the
collection to the Library in numerous instalments.

The collection includes subject files, correspondence, scrapbooks,
articles, lectures, notes, drafts of works by Williams, drafts of works by
others, photographs, programs and other papers relating to the history of
foreign settlement in Japan and its influence on, and adaptation to, Japanese
society. The papers also relate to Japanese culture, individual expatriate
residents, other foreigners, foreign businesses, communities and clubs in Japan
until the 1980s. These papers contain the primary material used by Williams in
his many published books and articles.

Also included are the papers of Gertrude Williams and personal and
family papers that document Harold Williams life and the life of both
Harold and Gertrude Williams in Japan.

Biographical Note

Harold Stannett Williams was born in Melbourne in 1898 and died in Kobe
in 1987. Williams went to Japan for a visit in 1919. He decided to stay and,
except during World War II when he served in the Australian Army, he lived
there until his death. After the War he was a member of the Occupation Forces
in Japan; on his return to civilian life in 1949, he renewed his business
interests and, with his wife Gertrude, began his research into the history and
culture of the foreign settlements. He was the author of numerous books on
Japan including Tales of Foreign Settlements in Japan (1958) and
Foreigners in Mikadoland (1963). A list of his published books can be
found in Appendix 1.

For about thirteen years Williams contributed articles to the
Mainichi Daily News in the seriesShades of the Past; he
was also a frequent contributor to other English language newspapers, both in
Japan and other countries.

In 1967 he was awarded the International Cultural Award of the
Hyogo Prefectural Government. In 1972 he was appointed an Officer of the Order
of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to historical research.

Gertrude F. (Jean) Williams shared her husbands interests and
contributed to the development of his collection. Together they traveled
extensively throughout Japan and overseas, visiting libraries and other
institutions, undertaking research and copying from English language
newspapers. After his death she published a two-volume collection of their
writings entitled West Meets East: The Foreign Experience of Japan
(1992). She died in Queensland in 1999.

Related Holdings

In addition to the papers and manuscripts held in the Manuscript
Section, the Asian Studies Section of the National Library holds the Harold S.
Williams Collection of monographs and a number of pictorial works.

The Harold S. Williams Collection of monographs contains over 3,000
volumes; its particular strength is the history of foreigners and foreign
settlements in Japan. It includes directories, travel books and works on
Japanese foreign relations, foreign business houses, missions, foreign clubs
and societies, customs, fine arts, festivals, natural disasters, the army,
politics, economic conditions, local history, laws, education and many other
themes. It also contains books on other parts of East Asia, including China,
Hong Kong and Korea. In most cases in which Williams included both monographs
and manuscripts in the same folders the monographs have been removed. Such
items have then been added to the monograph collection.

The Williams Collection also contains 16 framed etchings by the Japanese
artist Hiroshi Kambara, an album of his original sketches and watercolours and
a published collection of his works. Kambaras pictures are of both
artistic and historical interest and thus complement the books and manuscripts
of the Williams Collection.
